Patch worn by most members of the Infidels, and is widely regarded as their identifying sign by local groups.
Leader:
Devyn is a man of wiry frame and a tall figure, standing at 6’2” on the dot. His complexion is pale and his hair a dark brown, his eyes a deep hazel. He is a determined, hard-headed, and stubborn specimen, often serving to do less for his reputation than good. Among the western volunteer communities, Devyn’s group is colloquially known as the ‘B Team’, generally dismissed as trigger-happy gun nuts and war hero wannabes with a know-nothing Marine at its head.
Teams:
Divided into three teams of ten. Often each has a dedicated automatic rifleman, armed with a military surplus M240 or M60 depending on availability. Each team has two rifle grenadiers, armed with M230s or similar systems, allowing for easy delivery of explosive firepower downrange without the need for a bulky grenade delivery system such as the M32 or M79. Teams have a dedicated marksman, equipped with an M14 EBR or SVD depending on availability. Each team has a mix of M72 LAWs and AT4s, distributed among them all according to effectiveness of team members. Generally standard riflemen are interchangeable for each team, being frequently swapped out for different tasks. The riflemen are often armed with Kalashnikovs, Colt AR platforms, or other weaponry with similar ammunition availability in the field. Sidearms are a luxury not afforded to most in the teams, though those with enough money are not unknown to buy makes such as modernized M1911s, Glocks, or Sig Sauer models.

History:
Originally Devyn’s Infidels started as a private forum, a domain for the sharing of views on the current conflicts across the world through the eyes of veterans and particularly prying law enforcement and civilian individuals. What started as a thread crowdfunding to send a veteran to fight in the war in Taraq became an extensive list of other individuals that wanted in. A particular individual was US Marine Corps veteran Chester Devyn.
A veteran that had just recently left the Corps due to enlistment expiration, Devyn saw a chance for action, to help people. He’d never been deployed, and wished nothing more to be within the conflict. He signed up, and the crowdfunding thread only expanded. Soon enough, there he was, in an airport in Taraq along with thirty other individuals, all as eager as he was.
Equipped by local arms dealers or by charitable companies back in the West, they sought to contact the local resistance and assist in the fight against the Black Cobras. However, they were referred higher, and higher up every time they saw a different resistance leader. Eventually Devyn found himself at a table with a UN representative, with an offer. Fight this war for us, and not only will you be paid handsomely, you’ll be in every headline. It was an offer Devyn couldn’t refuse.
